I have a Ladies Rolex Watch with the following details:

On the inside of the back plate it has the numbers: 6517
I have not removed the strap to get the other numbers near the lugs.

It has all the correct Rolex information at the top of the dial.
Swiss Made right under the number 6

BUT it also has Tiffany & Co just below the center of the dial with all the other relevant information for the Rolex Dial.

Rolex, Oyster, Perpetual, Date Just.

I will upload a photo tomorrow if required.

Sounds like a TT early DJ pre 57

joe100 · 19 December 2013, 03:28 AM

Yes pictures are required.

It's a 6517 DJ. The co-branded T&Co dials are hard to prove without the original paperwork

What surprises me is that you've managed to get the caseback off but not the bracelet?

Not to mention that as soon as they get a couple of answers they leave without any trace.

I have not left I am looking after my grand daughter.While her mother has another baby today. So sorry if I was not here to reply.

I have not removed the bracelet simply because I really did not want to. I can do if I need to get the other numbers.

Thank you for information given so far. As I say I will upload some photos tomorrow when I am back in the office and not babysitting.

That happens so often sadly.

To the OP: google will tell you as much about your watch as we can without photos and serial numbers. With this sort of thing, good quality photos and as much information as possible is key. You go through the trouble of removing the case back but don't remove the bracelet to give us the serial. Sadly we aren't clairvoyant and can't see the watch in our heads.

MonBK · 19 December 2013, 05:47 AM

Once we see a picture of it and the serial # I'm sure we'll be able to sort it out.

As for know I reserve the right to have my doubts about the authenticity.

Your best bet is to just take the watch to a Rolex AD with a watchmaker and fabricate a problem i.e. watch doesn't keep perfect time. If it is fake they will let you know.

If you were able to unscrew the back, then it should have a Rolex movement inside... There isn't any better confirmation..

If you can post pics and if you have the tool to open up the watch it would really help to make a conclusion on it.

chipsquad · 19 December 2013, 09:44 PM

I managed to get these pics sorted this morning.

Please forgive me if I do not reply right away still awaiting the birth of grand daughter / son....

chipsquad · 19 December 2013, 10:34 PM

I have also found the numbers between the lugs:

Lugs at 12: 6516
Lugs at 6 : 2151789

Hope this helps....

PS: I have uploaded pics but awaiting approval...

With this and your previous description of the dial I dare to say it's fake or at least the dial has been replaced.

chipsquad · 20 December 2013, 07:33 PM

Pictures are now showing....

chipsquad · 23 December 2013, 10:55 PM

Are we none the wiser after the pictures?

Either way thank for the information provided so far.

PS : Grand Daughter arrived ...wohooo

andromeda160 · 24 December 2013, 12:30 AM

THe watch is authentic Rolex with an aftermarket dial. I believe the band is authentic but it will take some info off of the clasp to determine that. Cool find.

congrats on the birth of your grand daughter!
